@Teslaconomics Would love it in Atlanta, be nice to counter the tsunami of Waymo's here...

Elon and the Tesla team may not always be on time, but they ALWAYS deliver. Where are all the fools who said Robotaxi expansion would never happen? The same people who said it was “moving too slowly.” The same people who called Elon a liar. Today, Robotaxi is now operating across 7 cities: • SF Bay Area, CA (Supervised) • Austin, TX (Unsupervised) • Dallas, TX (Unsupervised) • Houston, TX (Unsupervised) • Miami, FL (Unsupervised) • Orlando, FL (Unsupervised) • Tampa, FL (Unsupervised) Bro… big things almost always look slow in the beginning. Building a real-world autonomous transportation network is NOT like shipping a simple software update. It takes hardcore engineering, testing, regulatory approvals, and proving safety city by city. Literally, people’s lives are at stake here… NEVER bet against Elon and the Tesla team.

@liorsela Shorters closing their trades prior to results..once the bounce continues for a bit, post what I expect will be cool results, the shorters will be back, to capitalize on the news vacuum.. and so it goes. If you believe in the story each shorting event is a buying opportunity :)

Can someone please explain why $TSLA is up so much today? 🤯 What changed since yesterday?

@SawyerMerritt I just want pothole avoidance.

Tesla's Summer 2026 software update has officially been unveiled. Here's what's new: • Navigation now prioritizes routes that you've taken before • Grok can now make phone calls, search and play music, adjust climate, open the glovebox, and answer questions about your Tesla. • You can now view and share self-driving stats directly from the mobile app (finally!) • Automatic Navigation now adapts to your routine: In addition to Home, Work, and upcoming calendar events, your vehicle can now suggest and route to places you visit regularly – like a school drop-off on the way to work, or the gym on the way home. • Caraoke now scores your singing while in Park • You can now set your desired Arrival Energy from your phone • You can now upload a custom wrap of your car right from the mobile app • Rear display lock: Kids can watch content on the rear screen but only the front row can control it through the rear screen app • Find Superchargers by name when searching for a destination • Add Apple Music songs to queue from search and artist page • Set your preferred zoom level for the Self-Driving visualization • Browser now supports camera and microphone • Intro animations for new Model 3 and Y

@BVBwinterBFMV @jeremykauffman Ask yourself why you never hear about Trans Men desperately trying to get into Mens sports...

@jeremykauffman Remember when gay men were ostracised from football because they were gay? Well welcome to the next new hate fad, shitting on trans people who want to play football. Let's just play football ffs. I've seen women play better than men anyways, no diving, no crying

New Hampshire girls bullied a transgender boy to stop playing soccer. They painted "PGS" (protect girls sports) under their eyes when forced to play against him.

He told his students to go to the windows. Get out. Jump if you have to. Then Liviu Librescu walked to the classroom door and pressed his body against it. He was 76 years old. He weighed 140 lbs The gunman was in the hallway. It was April 16, 2007. A Monday morning. Solid mechanics class at Virginia Tech, Room 204. Twenty-two students, most of them 19 or 20 years old. At 9:45 AM, gunshots echoed through Norris Hall. Room by room, the shooter was working his way down the corridor. Liviu heard it. He understood immediately. He had survived the Holocaust. He had survived a labor camp. He had spent decades living under Communist oppression. He knew exactly what evil sounded like. He told his students to escape through the windows. Second floor — it was a drop, but they'd survive. Then he walked to the door and held it shut with his body. The shooter tried to force it open. It wouldn't move. He fired through the door. Wood splintered. Bullets came through. Liviu stayed. Behind him, students were climbing out the windows. Dropping to the ground. Running. One by one, all twenty-two of them got out. The shooter kept firing through the door. Liviu held it shut until every student was safe. Then the bullets killed him. When police arrived, they found his body at the door. All 22 of his students survived. Not one was injured. Liviu Librescu was born on August 18, 1930, in Ploiești, Romania. He was Jewish. In 1941, when he was eleven years old, Romanian authorities sent him and his family to a labor camp. His father died there. Liviu survived. When the war ended, he was fifteen. He went back to school. Studied engineering. Earned a doctorate from the University of Bucharest. But Communist Romania had no interest in allowing a Jewish intellectual to succeed. He was blocked from academic positions. Passed over for jobs he deserved. He applied to emigrate. The government kept refusing. Finally, in 1978 when Liviu was 48 years old — Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin personally intervened. Romania let him go. He had spent most of his adult life trapped in a country that didn't want him. In Israel, he taught at Tel Aviv University. Published over 300 papers. Became an international expert in aeroelasticity — the science of how air flows over aircraft wings. In 1985, Virginia Tech offered him a position. He moved to Blacksburg, Virginia. He taught there for 22 years. His students loved him — demanding but kind, high standards, genuine care. He was still teaching full-time at 76. Still publishing research. Still showing up every Monday morning for solid mechanics. April 16 was the first day of Passover — the Jewish holiday celebrating liberation from slavery and oppression. Liviu Librescu died on the day his tradition sets aside to celebrate freedom. He spent his entire life escaping death and oppression by luck, by persistence, by the intervention of others. And on his last morning, he chose to stand at a door so that twenty-two young people could have the future he had fought so hard to reach. He could have run. He could have hidden. He could have climbed out a window with his students. He chose to stay. The Virginia Tech shooting killed 32 people that day — the deadliest school shooting in American history at the time. Room 204 had zero casualties. Because a 76-year-old Holocaust survivor held a door with his body until every student behind him was gone. His funeral was held in Israel. Students from Virginia Tech flew across the ocean to honor him. The Israeli government awarded him the Star of David Medal posthumously. Virginia Tech named a scholarship in his memory. His son said his father died the way he lived — protecting others. A man who survived everything evil threw at him for 76 years. On his last day, he made sure 22 kids survived too. Professor Liviu Librescu. August 18, 1930 — April 16, 2007. Holocaust survivor. Labor camp survivor. 302 published papers. 22 years at Virginia Tech. 22 students out the window. He held the door.

@nettermike For G.O.T fans, that last line has me thinking of him as HODOR...Seriously, Professor Liviu was an absolute hero.

@ArsenalN41 "...we earned every bit of respect that came our way.”, yup. None

🚨 Lionel Scaloni slams the VAR and reacts to Enzo Fernández's red card against Spain. 🗣️ Lionel Scaloni: “I feel sadness. I feel bitterness. I feel pain. That red card completely changed the game” “The first yellow card, I can understand. But the second? That was nothing more than a collision between Enzo Fernández and the Spanish player. There was no intent, no recklessness that deserved sending him off.” “My players were begging the referee to at least go to the monitor and review it, but he refused. That tells you everything. Sometimes the hardest decisions are the ones referees don't even want to look at.” “Playing a World Cup final with ten men is almost impossible, and from that moment, the game was no longer in our hands. “At least now, nobody can accuse FIFA of favouring Argentina. We reached this final fairly, we competed honestly, and we earned every bit of respect that came our way.” “We leave without the trophy, but we leave knowing we fought with dignity. That's something nobody can take away from us."*

@AllisonPearson Good grief they are a dirty team ..

Why have Argentina still got 10 players? Against England they were so foul they should have been down to 8!

@MorEdge_Insight "....suckers" ;)

This AI Ryanair parody is one of the best things you’ll see today… because it’s so close to reality 🤣 Honestly, I can’t stop laughing 😆 Credit to British Brainrot

@JamesMelville Actual debate rather than shouting matches, talking over each other, refusing to countenance any view other than your own etc.

@RonDeSantis 🎯 it’s a relief to have this finally called out. Thank you!

Do legacy media outlets typically use headlines involving the make of a car in a crash or is that only for Tesla? It would be one thing if the self-driving malfunctioned but the crash was purely human-induced. Seems like these outlets want to associate Tesla with crashes as part of a narrative and overall political agenda.

@relikx @WIRED I appreciate your perspective, and thank you for not being abusive. I guess I would just rather have had the article highlight your last point - which I’m genuinely interested in understanding more - rather than a focus on trans….or Tesla owners for that matter ;)

@DiamondDog2165 @WIRED I get your point but you’re cutting the nose to spite the face. You don’t have to “support” trans to understand the context. Try reading it and replace trans with Tesla owner. Are you ok with some super brain assigning you a social rating score that only they get to define?

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

@CG9829279038138 @WIRED This is what is so sad these days. You express an opinion and rather than a debate you are immediately tarred as spreading hate and shutdown. Hard. So we all end up gravitating to echo chambers of like minded opinion.. and so it goes.

@DiamondDog2165 @WIRED don’t expect people to be nice when you spread hate lol

@imissrealtwiter @nafostrategist @WIRED Well, at risk of this response being branded as “bot-like” I truly can’t figure out if you are being sarcastic or genuine, but I’ll go with the latter, so, cheers :)

@DiamondDog2165 @nafostrategist @WIRED Holy shit what a human response

@WIRED It’s frustrating to read some of the abuse to what I felt was simply an opinion reasonably politely written .. admittedly I did say ‘wtf’…but I accept freedom of speech, will step back, take a deep breath and walk away.

In my opinion it’s a pro-trans article masked as a technology piece, which I find frustrating. It’s the increasing overt political bias of the magazine that has put me off WIRED. I want to be informed not lectured at. But that’s just me, I have no problem with those that disagree.

@nafostrategist @WIRED Err no I’m most definitely real, at least my wife believes so. The only reason I paid was to get rid of ads.. funny though, so thanks for that :)

@DiamondDog2165 @WIRED 68 follower paid bot account has a complaint? 🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡

@elonmusk @SawyerMerritt @wholemars This is brilliant. If you could enable a way for us to manually adhoc adjust speed also when on any of the profiles, log the surrounding situation when we do it and add that to the personalisation it would be fantastic. Oh and release the pothole avoidance!

@wholemars The car will start to remember your specific interventions and match each person’s individual preferences

One thing that really frustrates me is when Tesla Self-Driving exits the carpool lane or express lane and then gets stuck in traffic. As I see everyone else whizzing by in the far left lane, I get extremely annoyed knowing I should be there too. Respect the settings please 🙏
